we send cordial greetings and earnest
expressions of confidence and co-opera-
,lon. Our friends, the enemv,' are in the
last-tne high licenss-ditch. So plan the

sustain the other compromise with the RIM

.r1ed high license, but, fearing failure in
ADVANCE, the Counc i placed four. tittbs of
Inc trI area OF the city under prohibition.
ms reduced the saloons more than one
hundred, and now they falsely claim these
results for high license. 1t has done us no
good' and is false in principle and sui
ing of the grand triumph of the near
future for what may appear to be tenn
porary advantage"

Prohibition from either of the old parties.
Inc machine is against it, and can never
be brought to favor it. 1 say this from
knowledge, living, as I do, where both
parties would repeal our rrohibitory law,
SO far as the leaders are concerned, if thew
dared to. The people are with us, the pol
ltlclans dead against US. Let US appeal to
the people,"
GEO. w. PENN1MAN, State Organizer
for Massachusetts: "Count on Massachu-
sets for from $4,000 to $4,000 votes this
fall. Canon Wherefore has lust closed a
magnificent address in the presence of
5000 people at fremont Temple, and while
he did not especially speak of political
temperance, the trend of his thought and
utterance was manifestly strong in our di-
rection."
Mrs. MARY 7. BURT, president of the
w. G. I. U. of the State of New York: IT
greatly regret that private engagements in
Delaware County will prevent my attend
ance at the meeting in Cooper Institute on
the evening of Tuesday, June z. Every
effort to advance this cause and to show
that prohibition, and that alone, is the
only righteous legal solution of the liquor
question. has my warmest sympathy"
JAS. WALLACE, Manchester, MINI: "Tell
Gen. Fisk to arrange his affairs for next
summer and fall SO that they will not re-
quire his attention. The Lord hath need
of him rs a candidate for President on the
Prohibition tiket."
FRANK BURT, Warrington, w. Va: II

the best and grandest men of the age, and
expect in my lifetime that they will be
recognized by the nation with equal rever-

are surely after the liquor men. The signs
are multiplying that the traffic must 90. It
has always been mean, spiteful, and cow
ardly-burning buildings, poisoning water,
and committing. other diabolical acts; but
now human life alone seems to satisfy
them: they must be mad, and near the
last ditch. The masses Of the North cared
nothing about the negro; but the border
rufianism in Kansas opened their ewes,
and they said if slavery makes this kind Of

course for Prohibitionists except to press
squarely forward. No Cancellation, tenn
porizing or compromising. Reforms must
stand on principle alone"
